- 1兩對一起約會、四人約會
A double-date is an outing for two couples at once: four people go to a film, a restaurant, a walk, and so on, together. It can take some pressure off, especially early on, because you are not sitting there as one quiet pair. People also use it as a verb: “We’re double-dating on Saturday.” Informal, everyday, about romance mixed with friendship. Though actually, it is not the same as seeing two people in secret (that is two-timing), and it is not a big mixer where singles hunt for a match. It is two already-paired couples sharing the same night out.
「double-date」是兩對情侶一起出去，四個人一起看電影、吃飯或散步。尤其是交往初期，這樣能減輕一些壓力，因為不用只有兩人面對面安靜坐著。它也可以當動詞，例如「We're double-dating on Saturday」，語氣口語、日常，愛情和友情混在一起。
它不是私下同時和兩個人交往，那叫 two-timing；也不是單身的人找對象的大型聯誼。它指的是兩對已經是情侶的人，在同一晚一起出去。
組成double (two) + date (a romantic outing). Two dates happening as one shared occasion.
